I LOVE Penny Rugs-Can anyone recommend a good tutorial on how to create these little "gems?" Does anyone on the forum make these?
Talk to me ladies....

Cute! If it involves any kind of sewing, not for me. I have ten thumbs when I try to sew. Maybe I can crochet it.

That looks like something that could be put in a doll house! How cute! Nora and I might have to make some for Farmgirl Faries! :)

Me TOO!
I was studying the example I have posted and think I will scrounge around to find a really good pair of sharp scissors, some recycled red wool-maybe at (Goodwill) and some embroidery floss should do the trick huh? Making a template won't be difficult.
I think I just found a NEW hobbie- We should try our hand at it and see what we can come up with!
Been stuck in the house for days well...I am going to brave the cold and head on over to our local Goodwill and look for some mens wool shirts. I do have a huge amount of grayish wool fabric stashed around here somewhere and I will dig that up.
I love learning something new---Oh by the way, I found that little penny rug on Etsy and she was asking 18.00 for it. It's pretty small and she called it a candle mat.

Melody...I'm gonna have a come apart if I DON'T learn how to make these! It doesn't look too hard if we had to wing it.
